Twenty(ish) Years of Medical Improv: Origins, Establishment,
and Next Steps

Professor Watson created and taught what is believed to be the first medical improv class in 2002, in 2011 she coined the term “medical improv” in her Academic Medicine article reporting FSM student response to the method, and in 2013 she began a summer “train-the-trainer” program which led to the dissemination of her FSM medical improv curriculum to over 300 clinicians and teachers across healthcare disciplines and countries. In this lecture she will use this example of creation and dissemination to reflect on lessons she’s learned about medical communication, medical humanities teaching in general, curriculum creation as an intellectual and creative endeavor, and the challenges of meeting the needs of both new learners and aging professors.

This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.

Against Our Will:
Protest and Resistance in Eating Disorder Discourse

This talk focuses on the ways in which eating disorders, especially anorexia nervosa, were constructed as sites of resistance during the 1970s and 1980s. I explore claims that anorexia nervosa was a variant of hunger strike and thus a form of political protest. I then examine medical writing about anorexic patients as uniquely ‘resistant’ to treatment, suggesting that the politicization of anorexia impacted not only popular understandings of the sickness but treatment modalities, with far-reaching implications for bioethical debates over forced feeding and coerced treatment for mental illnesses.
